Chocolate Milk

Yes, chocolate milk belongs behind the bar. Mixed with vodka or Kahlúa, it makes surprisingly smooth dessert cocktails that taste like a boozy milkshake. A splash of Baileys and chocolate milk over ice is a dead-simple crowd-pleaser at holiday parties. Use the good stuff — whole milk, real cocoa — not the watery kind from a vending machine. It also pairs well with peppermint schnapps for a grown-up hot chocolate situation when winter hits.
